"Tesla may have just rolled out its boldest Full Self-Driving (FSD) upgrade yet, but the company's Head of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, hinted at the recently released "Mad Max" mode's actual killer feature. As per the Tesla executive, FSD's Mad Max mode is designed to provide drivers with optimum driving performance during what are commonly the most tedious driving conditions on real-world roads."
"The release notes of Tesla's v14.1.2 FSD update indicate that Mad Max mode "comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than Hurry.""
"You'll love it more during day time / denser traffic. Really showcases its decision making.- Ashok Elluswamy (@aelluswamy) October 16, 2025"
Mad Max mode increases speeds and executes more frequent lane changes than the Hurry profile while remaining cautious and safety-oriented. The mode is tuned to handle dense daytime traffic, fast-changing lanes, and congested intersections, improving performance during tedious commutes. Early testers and long-term FSD users reported markedly improved real-world driving behavior and praised the mode's capabilities. Videos of the mode demonstrated assertive but careful decision-making in typical traffic conditions. The update aims to provide a more confident and efficient driving experience for longer trips and heavily congested road environments.
